Blaine’s Puzzle Blog: NPR Sunday Puzzle (July 5, 2026): Marketing Buzzwords

Q: Name two words that are opposites. They share a single letter. Remove that shared letter from each word, put a hyphen between the two resulting words and you’ll get a term you sometimes see in food ads. What are the original two words?

Take the hyphenated term and add the letters M and R. Rearrange to get something you don’t want to see in your food.
